Question

A warehouse elevator can hold at most 1,750 pounds. A 200-pound worker loads the elevator with boxes that weigh 75 pounds each. The inequality 75b + 200 ≤ 1,750 describes the maximum number of boxes the worker can put on the elevator if he is also on the elevator. Which statement is true?

A.	He can load at least 20 boxes
B.	He can load at most 20 boxes
C.	He can load at least 21 boxes
D.	He can load at most 21 boxes

anonymous · Answer

The inequality is:
$$75b + 200 \le 1750$$
Suppose we would have the following equation:

75b + 200 = 1750

How would you solve for b?
